Deserving Deckhands.

Sunday afternoon when the steamer
Flora was passing through the draw of the
bridge with her barge, en- route for the
upper Sacramento, two of her deckhands.
who had evidently been having a Jolly
time in town and disliked the idea of
breaking off so soon, Invested themselves
of all clothing except shirt and pants and
jumped overheard. One of them succeeded
in half-diving and half-crawling beneath
the bottom plank of the sheathing of the
draw pier-which plank was only five or
six inches above the surface-and then
climbed up the pier timbers and reached
the bridge, across which he came to the
Sacramento shore, and was last seen max
ing his way down the levee. The other
escape u was unable to get into the pier
as his comrade had done and had to swim
for the shallow water below the bridge.
The Flora stopped and lowered boat when
the men went overheard, and its crew i'm
mediately captured the swimaway. While
they were rowing back to the steamer, the
mate with his arm over the prisoners
shoulder, holding him down, the latter
made big jump and they both went into
the stream, where they houndered about
spouting water like young whales. In course
OF time they were assisted into the boat,
and started for the Flora. Notwithstanding
his cold bath, the mate seemed to be very
hot" He was evidently kindly dis
posed individual, however, for he was
heard promising to give the deckhand
something when they reached the steamer,
but the latter didn't seem to be very Joyous
over the prospect.
